Detroit Tigers' Alex Cobb pitched through 'a lot of discomfort' in first rehab start
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Cobb completed the first start of his rehab assignment Friday, May 30, with High-A West Michigan. The 37-year-old has been sidelined since before spring training due to a right hip injury. It was his first competitive game in 2025. Advertisement He didn't look healthy. "I don't think he's feeling great physically," manager A.J. Hinch said Saturday, May 31, less than 24 hours after Cobb's outing. "I haven't spoken to him directly, but the information coming back is that he's still battling a lot. I applaud him for what he's trying to do because he's pitching through a lot of discomfort." Detroit Tigers right-hander Alex Cobb pitches for High-A West Michigan on a rehab assignment May 30, 2025, in Dayton, Ohio. OLD DOG, NEW TRICKS: After Tarik Skubal's 'Maddux,' MLB legend Greg Maddux shares secret to sustaining success In Friday's game, Cobb tossed two scoreless innings with zero walks and three strikeouts, allowing just one hit. He faced the Dayton Dragons, an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. All three strikeouts ended on swings and misses, but on those pitches, he grimaced as he completed his delivery, then walked slowly off the mound. Advertisement He hung his head a couple of times, looking defeated. But Cobb kept pitching through the pain, throwing 24 pitches. "We're going to have to continue to nudge him forward or continue to give him some rest so that he can continue to pitch," Hinch said. "Moving around has been the problem for him, and we're going to continue to nudge him and see what he can give us." The Tigers are confident in Cobb's individual pitches, but they're not confident in the way his body is moving off the mound. His fastball averaged approximately 92.5 mph in Friday's rehab start, and he also used his splitter and curveball. Advertisement "I think the stuff is good, which is the teaser," Hinch said. "He could take the stuff he was pitching last night in A-ball and apply it in the big leagues, and he's going to get soft contact and miss — like he always has." The Tigers signed Cobb to a one-year, $15 million contract in December 2024. It's unclear if Cobb is scheduled for another rehab start.

All smiles for Sawyer Gipson-Long Right-hander Sawyer Gipson-Long isn't active — at least not yet — but he showed up to Kauffman Stadium to throw a bullpen session in front of pitching coaches Chris Fetter, Robin Lund and Juan Nieves. The 27-year-old has already completed five starts in his rehab assignment, returning from right elbow and left hip surgery. Advertisement He said he felt good in Saturday's bullpen. The Tigers, though, haven't determined what's next for Gipson-Long. Although he doesn't need to be activated until June 7, the Tigers have an opening for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

Poundland 7 Poundland's desk fan is a fantastic low budget option Credit: Poundland Poundland is selling a 4-inch desk fan for just £3 and its one of the cheapest options around. It's only available in-store, so you'll have to make the trip but it's still cheaper than the same size fan at Asda, which is priced at £5. If you'd rather shop online, Amazon is stocking the same 4-inch fan for £3.99. Asda also has handheld fans for £1.50 and a 9-inch desk fan for £15 if you're after something slightly bigger. Aldi 7 Aldi's Portable Air Cooler costs less that £15 Credit: aldi Aldi's got a bit of a gem this week. Shoppers are raving about the Ambiano Portable Air Cooler with LED lights, that retails for £14.99. It's got a carry handle, a 1.5m USB-C charging cable, and it's small enough to move from room to room. Mrs Hinch raves about £2 Home Bargains buy that 'adds charm to your garden' & a £10 product that's 'cheaper than Amazon' But it's a Specialbuy, so once it's gone, it's gone and you'll have to head to your nearest store to bag it.

If you want a bigger cooling hit, the 32-inch tower fan for £19.99 at Home Bargains is a close second and a tenner cheaper than its high street rival. For those looking for the cheapest on the go cooler, it has to be Asda's £1.50 handheld fan. Although Home Bargains £5 neck fan is another great option for when you're on the go. How to compare prices While all these deals are solid, it's important to remember that not every 'sale' price is actually a bargain. That's where price comparison tools can come in handy. Websites like Google Shopping let you type in a product name or model number to instantly compare prices across dozens of retailers. PriceSpy is great if you want to look at a product's price history – it tracks prices from over 3,000 stores including Amazon, Argos and the major supermarkets. Idealo works in a similar way and ranks products from the cheapest to the most expensive, while CamelCamelCamel focuses on Amazon deals specifically, showing you how prices have changed over time. Shopping around and doing a quick search can save you serious money and stop you getting caught out by sneaky markups. Just don't forget to factor in delivery fees and check stock before heading to stores to avoid disappointment.

Tigers pitcher Jackson Jobe goes to IL with Grade 1 flexor tendon strain in right elbow
The Detroit Tigers go into Friday's schedule of games still holding the best record in MLB at 37-20, a half-game better than the Philadelphia Phillies. Yet maintaining that top spot could be tenuous with starting pitching injuries accumulating. Pitcher Jackson Jobe is going on the injured list with a Grade 1 strain of the flexor tendon in his right elbow, the team announced on Friday. Though he was placed on the 15-day IL, it appears likely that the rookie will be out for a longer period. Advertisement Jobe, 22, will be shut down from throwing while the inflammation in his elbow and forearm subside. He then will have to go through a rehab period before being allowed to restart a throwing program, according to the Detroit News. A two-month recovery for this type of injury is typical. As a point of comparison, Seattle Mariners pitcher Logan Gilbert went on the IL with the same injury on April 25 and just began a minor league rehab assignment this week. Jobe allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks in his last start on Wednesday. Leaving the game after 4 2/3 innings, he said he felt soreness and the Tigers moved to get him tested quickly. Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said nothing looked out of the ordinary until Jobe said he didn't feel right. Advertisement However, Jobe's velocity was down by 1.5 mph, the Detroit Free Press reported. And after his previous start on May 23 versus the Cleveland Guardians, Jobe said he was "not the best I've felt physically all year," which he attributed to pitching his first full major league season. In 10 starts this season, Jobe compiled a 4.22 ERA and 4-1 record with 39 strikeouts in 49 innings. He was frustrated by the lower strikeout rate, according to compared to the 10.1 Ks per 9 innings he registered in the minors. He was the Tigers' first-round pick (No. 3 overall) in the 2021 MLB Draft out of Heritage Hall School in Oklahoma City. Jobe became the third Detroit starting pitcher placed on the IL during May, joining Reese Olson. However, Casey Mize just returned from the IL last week and allowed one earned run in five innings versus the Cleveland Guardians. He's scheduled to start on Friday against the Kansas City Royals. Advertisement Besides the uncertainty over Jobe's return, the question for the Tigers is who will take his spot in their starting rotation. Reliever Dylan Smith was called up from Triple-A Toledo to fill Jobe's roster spot. In 14 appearances, he has a 1.61 ERA with 32 strikeouts in 22 1/3 inings. Thus, Hinch may opt for using his bullpen when Jobe's turn comes up or Sawyer Gipson-Long (returning from right elbow and left hip surgeries) will get the call-up
